JAMES HAZEN, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Surgical Assistant provider holding MD credentials at 3006 PADDOCK RD APT 16D, OMAHA, NE, 68124, with a listed phone of (303) 547-7729. NPI 1649536590 was issued on 04/04/2012. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what HAZEN most recently submitted to CMS rather than a vetted directory listing, which is why patients should always confirm the practice is still at this location before scheduling.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 51 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 29 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $728 in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 47.1%. These figures capture only Medicare Part D — commercial insurance, Medicaid, and cash-pay prescriptions are not included, and any drug-beneficiary cell under 11 is suppressed by CMS for patient privacy.

Surgical Assistant is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 4,505 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 936 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline. Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating. Inclusion here does not imply a recommendation, and absence of complaints or sanctions on this page does not mean none exist — always verify credentials through the NPPES NPI Registry, your state medical board, and the ABMS or AOA before making healthcare decisions.
